No, it’s the source they linked to, the scientists paper.
Except the Spacecraft circling Mars can’t take a pic of something that small.
Even the Rover shows up as a small Dot from Mars orbit.
Sorry to bust your bubble.
You have no idea what that spacecrafts capabilities are.
I do. There may be Intel SATs that Circle Earth that can get closer views.
But there is nothing that circles Mars that can get that detail.
Hate to bust your bubble again.
Believe what u choose to believe.
Prime Directive and all that.
You folks are having enough fun with this crock. No need for anyone like myself to get involved.
But, it appears that they might have found veins of gold.
It’ll be 1848 all over again if so.
awesome :)
now thats some fungi
What a bogus article. I bet someone of the caliber of bogus Bill Nye wrote it.
Fungi *ping*
LOL!
The photos are legitimate NASA images. If you take the time to look at the original photos, its clear that there are seasonal changes. So how to account for those regular changes?
The journal that the article appears in is: Advances in Microbiology, vol 11, # 5. May 2021, and is heavily footnoted.
The original authors (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Rhawn-Joseph/publication/351252619_Fungi_on_Mars_Evidence_of_Growth_and_Behavior_From_Sequential_Images/links/60955e5792851c490fc34e1e/Fungi-on-Mars-Evidence-of-Growth-and-Behavior-From-Sequential-Images.pdf) call them fungi-like, and make a comparison to Earthly fungi which they obviously cannot be; therefore, IT uses a different mechanism to advance and retreat, shrink and grow, expand and deflate.
They document a slime-like, amorphous shape-changing, mold that moves away from its original position frame by frame. What does that indicate?
Its possible, that while the authors call what they see as a fungi-like organism, it could well be that the fungi uses a lichen in symbiosis; IT could well be abiogenic - who’s to say? The paper says, “It is possible these specimens consist of minerals or other non-biological substances” and goes on to say, “However, if these tangled webs of strands consist of quartz or gypsum this does not rule out biology,” and then goes on to list several known Earthly organisms that are similar.
The thing about aliens is that they are alien.

Their conclusions:
It is well established that a variety of terrestrial organisms survive Mars-like conditions. Given the likelihood Earth has been seeding Mars with life and life has been repeatedly transferred between worlds (Beech et al. 2018; Joseph et al. 2019; 2020c; Schulze-Makuch et al. 2005), it would be surprising if there was no life on Mars.
However, in contrast to terrestrial organisms, Martian fungi, lichens, moulds, algae and other putative life-forms, would have evolved on and already be adapted to the low temperatures, intermittent availability of water, low amounts of free oxygen, and high levels of radiation that characterize the harsh Martian environment. Almost all scientists who have searched for current or past life on Mars, have reported positive findings.
What would be surprising is if there was no life on Mars. Positive findings include reports of biological activity and specimens that closely resemble fossilized domical stromatolites, bacterial mats, algae, tube worms, and metazoans; bacterial residue in Martian meteorites; and a host of what may be living fungi, algae, lichens, mould.
We have now presented sequential photographs of specimens that emerge from the soil, grow, change shape multiply or move to different locations and disappear; donut shapes resembling the lichen genus Ochrolechia and “milkcap mushrooms” and “donut” shaped Russulas; networks of white specimens resembling plasmodium, bulbous fruiting sporangia and interconnected clumps and sphericals - all of which may have become rigid, encrusted, calcified upon exposure to the surface; as well as specimens resembling puffballs with stalks or shedding what appears to be crustose and which are surrounded by white powder-chunky-leprose-spore-like material that also consists of what appears to be embryonic multi-open-tubular and stemmed mushroom-like formations; and statistical evidence that specimens in the arctic are growing in parallel, and that equatorial spherical specimens resembling fungal puffballs grow out of the ground, expanded in size and diameter, and grew closer together.
Similarities in morphology are not proof of life. It is possible that all the specimens presented here are abiotic. We cannot completely rule out minerals, weathering, and unknown geological forces that are unique to Mars and unknown and alien to Earth. However, growth, movement, alterations in location and shape, constitute behavior, and coupled with life-like morphology, strongly support the hypothesis there is life on Mars.
Coast to Coast AM
Now there’s a real beacon of credibility.
Oh yeah, just like... Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster. “Shadow People”... Go ahead, buy into it. But! I’m NOT gonna buy it. Coast to coast AM, that’s george noory, I forget that other charlatan’s name who preceded him. I remember now! Art Bell. What a bunch of crap! Oh for pity’s sake.
What an idiot you are! Coast to Coast didn’t write the article. They linked to the scientists article. Your lack of intellect is noted.
